the United States Congress.” It is quite obvious that he did it because of the “abuses and
corruptions” of the Bank, and the censure was later reversed by the Senate in 1837. The Bankers
continued their attempts to revive the Bank. President John Tyler vetoed two bills in 1841 that
would have rechartered the Bank of the United States.
In 1837, the Rothschilds sent another one of their agents to America. His name was August
Belmont (real name, August Schonberg, a cousin of the Seligman family of Frankfurt,
Germany). In 1829, as a 15 year-old, he started working for the bank in Frankfurt, and proved
himself to be a financial genius. In 1832, he was promoted to the bank at Naples, so he could be
fully integrated into international banking. He became fluent in English, French, and Italian. His
mission was to stir up financial trouble within the southern banks. He ran a bank in New York
City, and established himself as a leading figure in financial circles by buying government
bonds, and later became a financial advisor to the President.
In 1857, the Illuminati met in London to decide America’s fate. They had to create an
incident which would allow the establishment of a Central Bank, and that had to be a war, since
wars are expensive, and governments have to borrow to pay for them. Canada and Mexico
weren’t strong enough, as evidenced by Santa Anna’s defeat in Texas the year before; England
and France were too far away, and Russia wasn’t under their control; so they decided to “divide
and conquer,” by fermenting a conflict between the North and the South. The North was to
become a British Colony, annexed to Canada, and controlled by Lionel Rothschild; while the
South was to be given to Napoleon III of France, and controlled by James Rothschild.
In order to begin a movement that would lead to the secession of the South from the Union,
the Illuminati used the Knights of the Golden Circle, which had been formed in 1854 by George
W. L. Bickley, to spread racial tension from state to state, using slavery as an issue. War-time
members included Jefferson Davis, John Wilkes Booth and Jesse James (1847-1882, a Mason,
who after stealing gold from banks and mining companies, buried nearly $7 billion of it all over
the western states in hopes of funding a second Civil War). The Ku Klux Klan, formed in 1867,
were the military arm of the Knights. The states which seceded, united into the Confederate
States of America, which meant they maintained their independence, and that if the South would
win, each state would be like an independent country.
Abraham Lincoln informed the people that “combinations too powerful to be suppressed by
the ordinary machinery of peacetime government had assumed control of various southern
states.” He had coastal ports blockaded to keep supplies from being shipped in from Europe.
The Rothschilds financed the North through emissaries August Belmont, Jay Cooke (who
was commissioned to sell bond issues, arranging with Belmont to sell Union bonds in Europe), J.
and W. Seligman and Company, and Speyer & Co.
Judah P. Benjamin (1811-84) of the law firm of Slidell, Benjamin and Conrad, in Louisiana,
was a Rothschild agent, who became Secretary of State for the Confederacy in 1862. His law
partner, John Slidell (August Belmont’s wife’s uncle) was the Confederate envoy to France.
Slidell’s daughter was married to Baron Frederick D´Erlanger, in Frankfurt, who were related to
the Rothschilds, and acted on their behalf. Slidell was the representative of the South who
borrowed money from the D´Erlangers to finance the Confederacy.
Towards the end of 1861, England sent 8,000 troops to Canada, and in 1862, English, French
and Spanish troops landed at Vera Cruz, Mexico, supposedly to collect on debts owed them by
Mexico. In April, 1861, the Russian Ambassador to America had advised his government:
“England will take advantage of the first opportunity to recognize the seceded states and that
France will follow her.” On June 10, 1863, French General Elie-Frederic Forey, with the help of
